H2SO4(conc.)+Zn=S+???

Question

Try to find an answer by putting the koefficients in this reaction:
H2SO4+Zn=S+ZnSO4+H2S
or by finding another reaction.
H2SO4 is concentrated, not diluted!

Answer 1

Did you mean "coefficients"?

Did you come up with the right side of the chemical equation yourself? It looks really odd.

I think it's supposed to be:
H2SO4 + Zn --> ZnSO4 + H2

Answer 2

Zn H2so4

Answer 3

There are three possible outcomes depending on the concentration of the Sulphuric acid. If you are expecting S then you dont get H2S instead H20

2H2S04 +Zn = S + ZnSO4 + 4H20

hope above clarification helps.

Answer 4

to find the right coefficients, check what coefficient need to be equal on both side. Here we need to find a,b,c,d and e such that
a H2SO4 + b Zn = c S + d ZnSO4 + e H2S
From element Zn we find b = d
From element O we find a = d
From element H we need to have a = e
From element S we need a = c + d + e.
This does not lead to anything good as this means that a=b=d=e and c=-a ! There is a problem with your proposed equation.

Answer 5

First, when a metal is put into an acid, H2,hydrogen gas is released.

H2SO4 + Zn --->H2 + ZnSO4

This is balanced without any more coefficients. It is the only reaction that will occur. No free sulfur(S) and no H2S, hydrogen sulfide.(rotten egg odor)

Answer 6

Zinc is a reducing agent, and concentrated sulphuric acid can be persuaded to be an oxidising agent.

Zn + H2SO4 ---> ZnO + SO2 + H2O

This is completely different to what is observed with dilute sulphuric acid, when hydrogen is given off.

Answer 7

just switch elements with the same charge

Answer 8

so2+znS+h2o
